A research conducted by French company Aliapur provides proof that burning used tires produce comparable energy (heat output) but less fossil CO2 emissions than burning coal or petroleum coke. Since used tires are not 100% fossil unlike coal and coke, their combustion emissions have renewable carbon or biomass fraction. Through ASTM D6866 testing, the biomass fraction of used tires was quantified.

In recent years, proponents of clean energy have taken heart in the falling prices of solar and wind power, hoping they will drive an energy revolution. But a new study co-authored by an MIT professor suggests otherwise: Technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead us to continue using all the oil, gas, and coal we can, unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions.

Is there a renewable source of energy that can replace the conventional fuel? Is the source greener and cheaper as compared to other sources? Is it easy to use? So many different questions and a simple answer to all of them is ‘‘YES’’. A biomass briquette plant is an ideal replacement to the traditional types of fuel which are highly dangerous to the environment. The multiple benefits of a briquette plant are contemplating industries as well as homeowners to switch to this cheaper and...

It’s time to move towards non-renewable to renewable sources to protect earth and environment from pollution and global warming. As we know there are many renewable Energy sources are available on the earth. For ex. Sun, wind, water, Biomass etc. all renewable energy sources produce energy which never affect to our climate.
Let’s we discuss about one of the Renewable Energy source…Biomass
Biomass is many times used as fuel for heat generation purpose but it’s more effective we used...

Used for centuries, fossil fuels have played a vital role in every individual’s life. It has been used for domestic and industrial purposes all across the world. Alike any other thing, it also has some advantages and disadvantages.Fossil fuels are the derivative of plant and animal fossils. As the name suggests, these are made from organic remains or decay of plants and animals. These fossil fuels including coal, natural gas, and oil/petroleum help in meeting energy and electricity demands in modern world....
